Thursday, November 14th, 2025
Arrival at Buenos Aires. Private transfer from International Airport (EZE) to Sofitel Buenos Aires Recoleta - Meet with your Argentina guide.
The name, Buenos Aires, literally means "good airs" in Spanish. It is one of the largest cities in Latin America, with a wide range of cultural offers and stunning sights. Being the capital of the country makes it the starting point for most of the Argentinean Experiences. Let yourself be seduced by its busy and beautiful streets full of Tango aromas and football passion, a unique mixture that turns your stay into an exceptional urban adventure.
Welcome lunch at at Piegari Ristorante
After Lunch, start exploring the City
Buenos Aires Sightseeing > Recoleta District Walking Tour
Buenos Aires is one of the most fascinating cities in both Latin America and the world. Be it for its splendid and varied architecture, with its old colonial buildings, French palaces and state-of-the-art skyscrapers; for its vibrant nightlife and endless cultural options; or maybe just for the rich identity of the Porteños, who proudly bear the European heritage of their ancestors, more and more visitors are coming to visit.
In Recoleta, we will learn about the dream of our local aristocrats in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when they sought to build a small-scale Paris in the heart of Buenos Aires. After visiting the impressive Plaza San Martín, where Jorge Luis Borges used to take his walks, we’ll stroll down Avenida Alvear, chosen by the world’s most distinguished brands to install their exclusive boutiques, looking up to see the many wonderful French-style palaces which nowadays house a number of embassies. Then we’ll visit the Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, one of the city’s oldest churches, which dates to the colonial era. Finally, we’ll admire the celebrated Recoleta Cemetery, a true labyrinth of ornate mausoleums. We’ll make a stop at Eva Peron’s grave, one of the country’s most recognizable icons.
The Argentine Experience – Interactive Dinner
Fun, Interactive and Delicious! Enjoy an unforgettable night out in Buenos Aires with the Argentine Experience!
The Wine Cocktail Experience. Your evening will start kicking off with an exploration of Argentina's main wine varietals (Malbec, Torrontés and Bonarda). Next, you will marvel at a mixologist mixing incredible wine cocktails. You will taste the cocktails, paired with gourmet appetizers, before trying your hand at mixing your own cocktail. This experience will give you the opportunity to be in the company of fellow travelers from all corners of the globe in the most relaxed atmosphere enjoying the Argentinean way!
Dinner Experience. A unique, memorable interactive dining experience that allows you to delve into all aspects of Argentine cuisine and culture. Sit back and enjoy a mouthwatering meal, and learn how to prepare some of the key ingredients. Wine, steak, empanadas, sweets, and Mate all in one unforgettable culinary extravaganza in Buenos Aires. A unique dinner party concept that will teach you the fundamentals of what being an Argentine is all about.
Learn how to close your own empanada using the "repulgue" technique, to order steak your way in Spanish, to prepare your own "mate" drink, learning also typical words, phrases and a quite wide range of gestures.
The evening will get off to a spectacular start with an "empanada" making class. You will learn how to make this staple ingredient of Argentine cuisine, competing at the end the challenge, with a prize for the best "empanada". Then you will sit back and enjoy the rest of the group creations, along with grilled provoleta cheese and sliced chorizo sausage with chimichurri. Afterward, will move onto the main course; a mouthwatering Argentine steak! While enjoying your meal, a sommelier will teach you about another key Argentine element the "Malbec" wine.
For dessert, you will learn how to make an "alfajor" with "dulce de leche"; Argentina’s national sweet. Of course, no alfajores or any sweet in Argentina is complete without a mate! You will learn how to prepare it yourself and will sit back, sipping mate and of course, make around, the same way as Argentineans do every time they gather.

DAY 2
Friday, November 15th, 2025
Buenos Aires Sightseeing Experience - South Area (La Boca, San Telmo & Puerto Madero)
We will visit Plaza de Mayo, the city’s foundational site and witness of our country’s political history. There we’ll find the Pink House, our Presidential Palace, the Cabildo, our primitive town hall, and the Neoclassical-styled Metropolitan Cathedral, the final home of Argentina’s founding father, José de San Martín.
We’ll then head for San Telmo, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Buenos Aires. It used to be the residential district favored by the upper class until late 19th century when a yellow fever epidemic caused the wealthier families to leave northwards. The area was marginalized until the 1970s when many artists and artisans came to San Telmo to install their workshops. Nowadays, thanks to its amazing architecture and hip atmosphere, this ancient neighborhood is really blooming. We’ll walk its cobbled streets, where the city’s colonial past seems to come back to life, making a stop at Plaza Dorrego, best known for its traditional antiques fair, held every Sunday, along with the local Market.
Leaving San Telmo behind, we’ll continue southwards to La Boca, one of the city’s most authentic and charming neighborhoods. It is a working-class district, heavily shaped by Italian immigrants who came to our country in large numbers during the last quarter of the 19th century. Here, we’ll make a special visit to the mythical Caminito Street, which sums up everything that gives La Boca its distinctive spirit: the strong passion for soccer, the heavy presence of art and color, and the Tango-esque atmosphere. At last, we`ll pass through Puerto Madero, the latest addition to the city’s neighborhoods. In 1991, its huge warehouses and silos were remodeled and redesigned, to finally integrate the river to the city and to create a new corporative, residential, hotel and gastronomically district, which has become the playground for the pretty Porteños and the international jet-set.
Lunch at Cabaña Las Lilas Steak House
At night, Enjoy Dinner and Tango Show at Rojo Tango
Located inside the exclusive Faena Hotel, Rojo Tango - A cabaret designed by Phillippe Starck - is passion, madness and glamour in a history that ends transforming itself into a legend. Rojo Tango is a fascinating proposal that seduces all the senses combining sounds, fragrances, colors, movements and flavors.

DAY 3
Saturday, November 16th, 2025
Gaucho Experience at The Pampas - El Ombu de Areco Ranch
Visit to San Antonio de Areco town - Stop at silversmith workshops & Stop for "Vermouth (or "vermú") at local Pulpería: The invitation is to immerse in the local environment of this historical town, the cultural legacy of Gauchos, Argentine traditions, local craftsmen and Fine Arts. An aromatized aperitif flavored with various botanicals (roots, barks, flowers, seeds, herbs, and spices) typically served in town bars, is a local tradition visitors shouldn ́t miss either!
Ideally located only 120 km from Buenos Aires and close to San Antonio de Areco in the heart of the Pampa, we will reach the Estancia ‘El Ombu de Areco’. The main house is surrounded by a covered gallery typical of the late-Colonial period, with a richly
tiled floor and cascaded steps that lead into the gardens of the park. Presiding majestically over the park is the estancia's namesake, the great Ombú, a plant as characteristic of the pampas as the baobab is of the African savanna. Nearly as ancient as well: gauchos have been hitching their horses to the estancia's main Ombú for over a hundred years.
An authentic countryside day: Once at the estancia visitors can enjoy horseback riding or go for a ride in a sulky or carriage, whilst enjoying some "empanadas" and beverages. At lunchtime, you enjoy a typical "Asado" (BBQ) prepared using only the finest quality meats. Dessert is accompanied by a folk music performance, which is followed by a demonstration of gaucho skills (equestrian demonstrations: horse whisper or tropillas).
Among the different activities: Birdwatching, relax by the swimming pool with solarium; play ping-pong (Table Tennis) or metegol (table football), as well as volleyball and football; ride bicycles or just contemplate the beauty of the Pampas.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
DAY 4
Sunday, November 17th, 2025
Breakfast at the hotel before checking out.
Private transfer to the airport for our flights to Patagonia - El Calafate.
El Calafate is a small town in the Argentinean Patagonia, situated in the southwest part of the Santa Cruz Province, at 2,083 kilometers from Buenos Aires. It is an important tourist destination as the hub to visit different parts of the Los Glaciares National Park, including the Perito Moreno Glacier (one of the most visited Glaciers in the world), the Cerro Torre and Cerro Fitz Roy. Its name is derived from a little bush with yellow flowers and dark blue berries that is very common in Patagonia.
Nativo Experience: Lakes and Caves
The Argentino Lake is the third biggest lake in South America. Surrounded by mountains and fed by giant glaciers, this lake astonishes local and foreign visitors with its immensity and special color. It was exactly that light blue color, the mountains covered in white and the light blue sky what motivated Francisco P. Moreno to name it “Argentino”.
“Nativo Experience – Lakes and caves” is a 4x4 activity through the Argentino Lake’s shore, with an anthropological approach that tours man’s presence over the years in this region. The aim is to rediscover the first expeditions of the brave ones who dare to go into the unknown and how their first interaction with the natives was. Thus, among cliffs and views to the Andes Mountain, one personally feels the Tehuelche world along 20km. Stopping for taking pictures will help to go even deeper in typical flora and fauna details, as well as trying to understand the legacy left by those natives through their cave paintings. Imagination will be set free among chenques and awnings, immersed in thousands of years of history.
On the lake’s shore, there are millennial caves where Tehuelche culture left its mark printed on the rocks to be read. After visiting them, participants finish the tour having lunch or dinner inside another big cave.
Observations: Subject to weather conditions

Perito Moreno Glacier - Los Glaciares National Park
Located 80km away from El Calafate, The “Perito Moreno” is "Los Glaciares" National Park’s host, where visiting its catwalks is actually a unique experience.
From the beginning, the trip holds pleasant surprises. On the village outskirts, it is possible to see the Argentino Lake on the right and its shallowest part, Redonda Bay (Rounded Bay), populated by a large variety of birds like black-necked swans, flamingos, steamer ducks, coots and Magellan gooses surrounded by yellow fields, due to the “coirones”, typical grass of Patagonian steppe.
The first 40km on the trip runs through Patagonian steppe until getting to the National Park access gate. Over the next 26km, it is possible to appreciate the timberline formed by “high deciduous beech” trees, white oak trees, “low deciduous beech” trees and some cinnamon trees. Flowers of several colors can be appreciated too, being the “fire bush” the one that stands out the most due to its deep red color. All of them are typical Andean-Patagonian forest species.
Facing the glacier every aspect is majestic. The catwalks are divided into 3 circuits: Central Balconies: 600mts (1.968 feet, including 1st balcony, 2nd balcony and Northern balcony); Lower Balcony: 1.100mts (3.609 feet, including Lower balcony) and Coast’s Balcony: 1.117mst (3.665 feet, from parking area up to the Northern Balcony), all of them alternating with resting and panoramic balconies. The route of the visit will be closely related to weather conditions and participants’ willingness and physical conditions; the available time to walk through and visit the catwalks is 1 to 3 hours.
There is an elevator available for disabled persons that leads to the First balcony, the point where the Accessible Pathway begins,
extending to 565mts (1.854 feet).
The excursion is usually organized as a full-day program. The visit makes it possible to have different viewpoints of the glacier and
enough time for lunch and for optional navigation to approach to the glacier’s southern front.
Safari Boat - Sailing Rico Branch
The tour is a voyage of one (1) hour by the Rico branch of Argentino Lake in order to appreciate the majestic south wall of the Perito Moreno Glacier. This glacier ice wall is about 60m high and 100m below lake level.
The boat comes about 200m from where the glacier touches the Magallanes Peninsula and then goes at length (about 3km) south wall allowing you to enjoy the landslides that occur daily and the magical beauty of its seracs, cracks and intense blue.
This service is carried out with the boat Yagan, with capacity for 110 passengers. Boarding takes place at the port on the Bay "Under the Shadow", about 7 km before the glacier viewpoint. It is highly recommended to complete the visit to the glacier with this navigation.
